        So, 1st post said this plugin does not expire.

        I have not used or needed it for a while, today I need it and get this:

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          The website also refers to non-expiring licence.

            Hi Guys, thanks for reporting this.

            The licence is valid for a single Ropefall installation, it does not expire.

            So if you install Ropefall on a Sketchup 2015+, successfully enter the licence key purchased and do not change or modify anything in your Sketchup environment that makes the licence key invalid, then you should be able to use that Ropefall instance forever.

            So what change can make a licence key invalid?

            • reinstall Sketchup for some reason (e.g. on a new machine)
            • upgrade Sketchup version, e.g. from 2016 to 2017
            • anything that makes Sketchup registry corrupted

            In these cases please contact me at ropefall@sketchrope.com and I will generate a new licence key for you, free of charge within the one year maintenance period.

            Does this help?

              Seems like the licence terms should be updated as the non-expiring referral is limited.

              What are the costs for a licence key regeneration, out of the year maintenance period, when one would have updated your SketchUp installation to a newer version or may have changed machines?

                Since I upgrade SU each year and make/buy a new computer about every 18 months, having to apply for a new license each time is really not viable.

                  What changed is I got a new machine, what did not change is I get the same issue on my old machine that did not get updated since installing.

                  Problem is if I get a new generated license now I'll be needing another as soon as SU 2018 arrives.

                    Thanks a lot for your feedback.

                    I am planning to build a more sophisticated licencing system but it is a non-trivial task and takes time to develop. Or maybe I go with SU's licencing system in some future release, we will see.

                    For now, we have to live with this simple process. Please just drop me an email once you need a new key within a year after purchase.

                        has this plugin been completely removed?
                        anyone knows the reason?

                        thanks.

                          if it was withdrawn it is probably due to low sales and the fact that payware should remain supported as long as it is available

                          fortunately there is still the free wiretool you can look at

                            I have clothworks (paid), I didn't use it lately... was thinking that maybe it would be able to do similar. Have you tried?

                              Ahoi,

                              as some of you already realized, project Ropefall has closed doors. This means no new licences will be given away.

                              Maintenance support will remain available in the maintenance period (a year after purchase).

                              Thanks for your support so far!
